About Kindermusik

KINDERMUSIK IS A CLASSROOM LEARNING EXPERIENCE. We teach children music so they can become better learners. It’s not about making little Mozarts. It’s about developing skills in the whole child – cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language and musical. We believe music is the best conductor for learning. Our teachers inspire students, while giving the tools of music education to parents, so music and creative learning can continue outside the classroom, and in the home.

Kindermusik Influences

Kindermusik is eclectic in its incorporation of ideas from the leading approaches and philosophies that influence early childhood, music and movement education. The following is a list of some of the international influences that have helped make Kindermusik the leading music and movement program.

Zoltan Kodaly (Hungary)– The child’s voice is his most precious instrument. It is vital that a child sing often, joyfully, and unaccompanied to develop a tuneful voice.

Emile Jaques Dalcroze (Switzerland) – Encourages the use of movement and building musicianship through hearing, thinking, reading and feeling music emotionally which in turn enables children to approach their instruments with new understanding and skill.

Shinichi Suzuki (Japan) – Music is learned by listening first just as one’s native language is learned. Developing a musical ear is paramount to all musical development.

Maria Montessori (Italy)– A child learns best through multi-sensory experiences. If a child can participate in a concept with his touch, smell, hearing and sight, the concept will be much more impacting and memorable.

WE BELIEVE THAT PARENTS ARE THE BEST EDUCATORS!

Preparing your child for success in school and life means including your child’s first and most important educator – YOU! As you participate in every step of the learning process, you’ll see firsthand just how essential Kindermusik is to your child’s growth.

Every Kindermusik class comes with a set of At Home Materials. Each includes a book, CD, age appropriate instrument, and activity book or journal. The classroom learning continues at home when you set aside time each day with your child to read, do unique, creative activities, or listen to music – all using the At Home Materials.

As your child grows, Kindermusik understands the development process taking place. We also want you to understand that process, because when a child’s learning needs are best understood in the classroom and at home, Kindermusik can foster all aspects of your child’s development while developing a natural sense of musical appreciation and capability.
